🤣LOL, I'm also first involved in an open source protocol. I used to do Internet products. Because of the attraction of Bitcoin and Nostr to me. We started the development of Freerse. My mind is full of questions about the product experience and the direction of the product. I want to develop the final shape of the product. Consider open source initiatives.
Discussion
I've always been in more B2B or embedded, or in-house development, so open source wasn't an issue. We had quality requirements, instead. I've noticed nobody expects open source stuff to be any good.
We published some source code, but it's dry C++ utility stuff and nobody wants to read it. 😂 5000 characters on relay management and some unit tests.
Nostr users have a habit of looking at the source code. Most of the early users were developers. Help each other check for code and bugs, and make constructive suggestions. I think it's a very good collaborative atmosphere that I haven't seen in many places.
If you publish the source, we'll read it and respond constructively, and if it passes muster, we'll link to it from our website and give you some publicity.
We aren't planning on building an Android app, so we were looking for one to promote, anyway.
Deal?
You presented me with a difficult problem. Because our initial consideration is to wait until the product has reached our desired finished product form before considering the open source project. Maybe not something we should be thinking about right now. But we will consider your suggestion carefully. 🫂 💜
Yeah, no rush. 🤙
We wouldn't be ready for another couple of months, anyway.
Just wanted you to know you'd get something concrete in exchange for transparency. We're not just trolling like "Sauce?"
We actually do read other people's code and we understand what we're looking at.
Thank you for your sincerity and sharing.💜
